Bottomless Toy Chest: Year 4
The Seaholm Dance Team spends one entire morning in October hosting our annual Bottomless Toy Chest Wrapping Party! The girls wrap and donate hundreds of gifts that get delivered to hospitals across Michigan and Ohio. We love continuing the tradition of giving back to this great charity each year!

Bottle Drive
Our Varsity dancers hold a bottle drive at the beginning of summer to raise money to help send our team to 3-5 regional competitions. The girls spread word by passing out flyers at Seaholm football games and throughout local neighborhoods. On the morning of the bottle drive, the girls pick up cans and bottles that members of the community leave outside for them in surrounding neighborhoods. Many people also drop off cans to the school and make gracious donations to our team. The dancers spend several hours returning the cans at local grocery stores. Many donations of bottles/cans are received from people who are in line to return, but decide to donate to our team! We are so grateful for everyone in the community who brings cans and donates to our team!

Team Up for St. Jude
Our Maple Motion dancers have attendedmultiple UDA Summer Camps in the past. Prior to camp every year, they are given a stack of letters from St. Jude. Our dancers fill out the letters with the addresses of their friends and family and turn them in when we attend camp. The letters are then sent out to those addresses to ask for donations to St. Jude. Our dancers fill out dozens of letters, and girls who fill out more than 10 letters receive special recognition at camp.

Team Garage Sale
The Maple Motion Dance Team held a team garage sale on June 25, 2016 in Beverly Hills, MI. Both our JV and Varsity teams brought gently-used items to be sold to passersby in the area. The teams worked the garage sale for 4 hours and raised money to fund team costs. After the sale, the remaining clothing was picked up by a cancer federation center and the remaining items were donated to local donation centers. Maple Motion raised money and it was great to see the community come out to support the team!
